Engine oil

Specifications
A special VW Marine Longlife oil that can be
ran as an all-year oil is used in the engine at
the factory.
It has special corrosion protection prop-
erties to protect the engine in an aggressive
environment such as salty sea air. It also
protects the engine from inner corrosion
during long downtimes, e.g. winter storage.
The container must be labelled with the
specifications on this page.
Important note
Of course, engine oils are also constantly
being improved. Therefore, the information
in this manual can only reflect the status at
the time of printing.
VW Marine Service Partners will always be
kept up to date on any changes by the
factory. Therefore, it is best to have the oil
change carried out by a VW Marine Service
Partner.
